I have a 13 year old in 8th grade with a June birthday. I fear he has no maturity at all. End of 17 he will go off to collage, decide on a Major, play baseball if he develops well, and make collage choices! Scary for me 🤷‍♀️ cause I know his level of maturity is so less than his teammates and class mates who is all 14 going into 15 thanks to reclassification or entering K at 6!

That said parents of older boys often tell me “one day he will wake up and put all the pieces together-his mind and body will come together and boom he will be his own mature adult self! Let the pieces of his puzzle fall together.

I am not holding my breath at my age I still haven’t figure out what I am going to be when I grow up!
